The Theology of Journey
During my doctoral work, Len Sweet said on several occasions that there needs to be an expounding on the Theology of Journey. Alan Jamieson, a New Zealand pastor, has authored two books on the topic. One is Chrysalis: The Hidden Transformation in the Journey of Faith (Faith in an Emerging Culture) and the second is Journeying in Faith.
I have begun reading Deuteronomy as part of my daily worship and I was jolted by the journey of Israel from Mt. Sinai to the Promised Land. It is as much a description of the theology of journey as anything we have in Scripture. It is the story of new God-followers on journey with God all the way into the promise land. It is the story of God developing the faith of a nation. I think it is a great place to begin to examine how God leads us into a transformational journey.
Come along with me, will you?
